Have to confess that I shop at both Walmart and Amazon. Walmart ends up being one of the closest retail outlets and I often use it to buy hardware items. I use Amazon to obtain items that would require a major expedition otherwise.

To be honest, it seems we often pick on the biggest and most successful retailer. But we could just as easily target the #2... for example, Target and Powell's Books.

Also, too.... pushing our business toward small-time, local vendors doesn't always guarantee improvement on labor practices either.
